Close-up Bear
You never know what you may encounter in Alaska, like this coastal brown bear walking through the grass. Immediately got down on one knee to get eye level with the bear for these two uncropped photos. This is a 3rd year cub taken on the second day of another amazing adventure in Alaska

That is one beautiful bear….coloring and coat are gorgeous. Thanks, Tim, for sharing your discoveries and photos.
